This cucumber tomato salad is a simple, fresh, and refreshing dish made with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and red onion, all tossed in a tangy homemade dressing. It’s quick to prepare and perfect as a light summer side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 English cucumber, no need to peel
  • 10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or basil), optional

Instructions

  1. Slice cucumber into half rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Place cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss gently to combine.
  5. Add fresh herbs if using and mix lightly.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 1–2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • You can use chopped whole tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes.
  • Soak onion in ice water for 5 minutes to reduce sharpness if desired.
  • Best eaten fresh, but can be stored short-term as vegetables release liquid over time.
